oafcmetty Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 If the M62 is still a clusterfuck at Saddleworth, and the routes over the tops are closed, how do we get there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't be arsed going long before the bad weather to be honest. Don’t think the 10 day thing is a fixed rule. Cheltenham’s game for Saturday has been postponed and moved to next Tuesday night. Think it depends on the police force and other things in the local area. I would imagine though that greater Manchester police have more to police event and football wise than the Cheltenham force.

The game will be on the pitch is cleared and all the surrounding areas are being worked on as we speak, amazing what a little forward planning and organisation can acheive.

daniel Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 They’ve just posted a time lapse video, the pitch is clear and playable, they are working on the surrounding areas now. Surely they have to bear in mind the rest of the route? M62 still blocked, and i’m sure the M18 was bad yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcmetty Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Dropping down to -1 in Scunthorpe overnight with more snow between 3am and 11am - surely need an inspection tomorrow lunchtime? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 If tomorrow’s game is postponed, Wellens confirmed that it would be re-scheduled for this coming Tuesday (March 6). “If it is called off it’s not a big deal because we can play on Tuesday,” said Wellens. “We have asked that question and there would be no problem with that. “There’s a better forecast for Sunday, so it would be 100-per-cent on, on Tuesday. “We obviously want the game to go ahead tomorrow, but if it isn’t it’s not a problem. We won’t need to arrange it for April or anything like that “We’re very hopeful, though I know it is a difficult trip for our supporters up there.

daniel Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Everything is fine at Scunny’s end if nothing changes. M62 due to open at midnight or when the winds drop to below 60mph up at Rishworth moor, other than that the A62 to Huddersfield is passable with care where you can join the M62. I’m going to brave it out, 3 weeks with no football has swayed my decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

super_blue Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 It sounds like the only think that would lead to a postponement would be our team being unable to get there due to travel/traffic issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a look what's happening on the "Cheltenham Rocks" website. It's feisty stuff. Top of the bill is a snowdrop open day. You could also have an adrenaline fuelled trip to Primrose Vale Farm Shop - all police leave cancelled as they have a sale on spring greens.

stevesidg Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 GAME ON! Following a light dusting of snow at Glanford Park, the referee has taken a precautionary look at the pitch and is satisfied therefore today’s game against @SUFCOfficial will go ahead. #oafc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They pay may be late and shit when you get it but you would be helping the community have a positive interaction with latics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
